We all know there’s really no such thing as a truly
frightening Halloween treat, but that doesn’t mean we can’t give our guests a
few moments of pause, as they process the sight of these fun, fang-filled
apples staring up at them. Well, actually those are the bloody eyeball truffles
staring up at them, but you get the idea.

I kind of like the minimalist look here, but there are
dozens of ways you could up the grossness factor with these. Maybe some fancy
fruit gummy worms, or rice pudding “maggots?"

It’s been a while since we posted a “scary” Halloween treat,
and since most tend to be sugar bombs, I thought it’d be nice to share
something a little healthier. I’m assuming there will be no shortage of candy
around. Enjoy!

...these are extra scary if you are allergic to nuts.... like seriously scary. I think this is a fantastic idea but if you are serving them to children sub out the almond slivers for broken yogurt/white chocolate dipped pretzels or something. Anaphylaxis is super scary and not the kind of scare you want on Halloween. Otherwise these are super cute!! Excellent idea Chef John
